boiler cross bonding

[DNO]

we asked 100 electricians forum members, would it be correct to say, that on page 53 of the IET wiring regulations book, it is a requirement to main bond central heating and airconditioning systems?

 

[trev]

When you say "we" do you mean "you" and when you say "asked 100 electricians" do you mean " I thought about it and made the answer up as I see it"?

we asked 100 electricians forum members what colour is the IET wiring regulations 1st amendment book?

Incorrect,

It is a requirement to main bond extraneous conductive parts, such as central heating pipes and aircon amongst other things.

So the requirement is to bond extraneous parts and the example of parts that might be extraneous includes central heating pipes and aircon.

There is also a section in the regulations which gives a definition of what an extraneous conductive part is.

 

[Tiny Spark]

I still want to know what DNO stands for.....

And I still want to know if you bond a pipe with 60K ohm resistance as trev asked.....

 

[tidyboiler]

well I had a relapse earlier in the week and the vet gave me more meds and yesterday I was a lot better.

Tidyboiler came over yesterday afternoon & we had good curry and she stayed over until teatime today. Before she left I went with her shopping at Sainsburys and managed to drive there and back in the MR2 and walk all around the place without my walking stick and wasn't too tired when we came back home so that was a big improvement so I've had a truly great day,thanks.

And we didn't leave a load of carnage, spill blood or have any assistants in tears! Result :dita:

Who's 'we' ?

You tell us, you're the expert, it seems.

 

[tidyboiler]

How Fatha, Aam canny ye knaa. Ye n me stepma aareet?

Hello my son....... good to hear you're fine

 

[trev]

we asked 100 electricians forum members what colour is the IET wiring regulations 1st amendment book?

I have no idea mate, I'm colour blind to the point of being monochromatic. I just guess most of the time.

 

[ipf]

we asked 100 electricians forum members what colour is the IET wiring regulations 1st amendment book?

Which Edition ?

 

[ipf]

Quiz Corner this.....who's in the lead?

 

[davesparks]

Which Edition ?

I believe that is largely irrelevant as the order of the colours is kept the same.

It's just the title of the book he got wrong

 

[trev]

Which Edition ?

I'd have to say the current one because each edition replaces the previous one as does each amended issue. So in my world it's a medium grey.

Must be sky blue pink, then!!

 

[Tiny Spark]

Doesnt matter Trev, As long as you can read the title and the contents clearly.

Long as you dont mix the 1 grey with the other grey wire everything is fine

I'm buggered when I get 3c though mate

 

[Tiny Spark]

Just remember red to green to smitherines

Oh wait....

Never mind Best just leave the 3 greys alone or ask a woman, Apparently they can see 50 shades!

 

[trev]

Multi cores on central heating systems is just hit and hope, I've not killed anyone yet so I must be good at guessing.

 

[Tiny Spark]

They call that a pro in the trade mate

 

[ipf]

Always think of the Irish tricolour, mate.

 

[trev]

Always think of the Irish tricolour, mate.

Grey, less grey and grey mate.

 

[Tiny Spark]

Ze German Tri colour would be better...

Black, Grey, Less Grey

 

[Tiny Spark]

Well seen as it looks like the DNO guy has buggered off without educating me......
I best finish up my beer and go to bed......

 

[trev]

I would too but Mrs Trev has just turned the telly over and Iron Maiden are on.

 

[Geordie Spark]

Aye man I've got a gsd too but I'm talking about brown dog..Newcastle broon ale man!

Just going off piste for moment lads, did any of you see the adverts for Broon that were at the London Underground stations in the 1980s?

There were big dogs paw prints running along the platform from one end to the other and they were there for a week or two while everybody was left wondering what it was about, then one day the word "Woof!!" appeared at one end and that was all.

A few days after that a piccie of a bottle of Newcastle Brown appeared after the "Woof!!"

I thought it was rather clever but completely wasted on the intellectually challenge natives.

Ok ..... back on piste (or pi$$ed??) again.

15 said yes, 10 said no, and 75 Electrical Trainee's said don't know , it wasn't covered in the 5 weeks.

 

[Guest77]

LMAO haha

 

[Knobhead]

Welcome back Mr. Cockburn.
We eagerly await your pearls of wisdom on the subject of bonding.











Not had a good laugh on here for a while.

 

[Kamikaze]

I would too but Mrs Trev has just turned the telly over and Iron Maiden are on.

Was that Iron Maiden or The Iron Maidens?:biggrin:

 

[trev]

Iron Maiden mate, the maidens are on the back burner for a bit. Their guitarist got a gig with Alice Cooper

 

[snowhead]

DNO is just a small collection of letters.

D.N.O however is not.

It's a collection of letters and full stops lol

 

[tazz]

I asked 100 forum members ...Should I bond the watering can at the bottom of my garden..????

 

[Pete999]

I asked 100 forum members ...Should I bond the watering can at the bottom of my garden..????

And what was the response? lol

 

[tazz]

The same as Cockburn got when he first suggest it.....

 

[Tiny Spark]

I asked 100 forum members ...Should I bond the watering can at the bottom of my garden..????

Have you measured the resistance of said Watering Can?
Also Is it fixed in place?

 

[telectrix]

move it to the top of the garden. save on cable. unless it's by the shed and the shed has a sub 1Ω Ze.

 

[trev]

I asked 100 forum members if I should bond the hinges on the non conducting wooden doors in our home.
99 of them said I was an idiot, one of them agreed.

 

[Knobhead]

The knifes and forks are a bit of a bugger to use with a 10mm to the MET from each one.

 

[Geordie Spark]

Bottle please.

Aye ...... that's reet son .. Aahve taught ye well.

Electrical Trainee I think?

 

[Geordie Spark]

Ule have to excuse my spelling.... Had a few bevskis

Have a few more .... your spelling is actually improving!

agreed with the bonding or agreed that you were an idiot? :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5:

Gezze Tony you from Eastern Europe as well?

 

[Geordie Spark]

And we didn't leave a load of carnage, spill blood or have any assistants in tears! Result :dita:

I have to say I was a bit disappointed with that. I like to see you doing your usual Blitzkrieg through Sainsburys - it's a bit like Rommel's panzers on steroids.

 

[Geordie Spark]

Was that Iron Maiden or The Iron Maidens?:biggrin:

Nah! ...... It was the Ironing Maidens and the song was "I got them old washday blues".

Anybody remember Dolly Blue - or Blue Bags what the wifeys used to chuck in with the washing to make it whiter?

 

[Geordie Spark]

It's a collection of letters and full stops lol

Bloody pedant.

 

[Geordie Spark]

The knifes and forks are a bit of a bugger to use with a 10mm to the MET from each one.

Can you not use a wireless connection?

 

[Tiny Spark]

Well.... If you insist!
After all it is a bank holiday tomorow!

 

[Geordie Spark]

agreed with the bonding or agreed that you were an idiot? :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5:

Yes!!
